you have not selected the perfect get-a-way for that special occasion
coming up, or you need a break from your stressful schedule I
recommend you consider an escape to Secrets The Vine Cancun. This
stunning all-adult, non-smoking resort with countless amenities
will bedazzle any traveler.
Each
guest room and suite has a balcony with a stunning ocean view,
a complimentary mini-bar that is refreshed daily with a collection
of beverages and waters. The room service and butler services
are the finest I've encountered during my travels over the past
twenty years, and the beds were made for restful sleeping. A plunge
shower and luxurious bath area offers fine bath products, and
fine linens for bath and bed. Everything you could need is in
your room including an alarm clock, iPod dock, laptop size safety
box, personal safe and they do offer 24-hour concierge service.
Breakfast with a news paper served on your patio, overlooking
the beautiful beach, is an awe inspiring experience.
